Ok, I will make this brief dudeman :P

-This Eyecandy is very good, even though it has a few flaws at top of level if you look very closely.

-The Gameplay was very smooth, but sometimes it took me 2 tries to keep on moving again like when your jumping and then you hit a pumpkin :(

-Weapon placement was fairly done, especially the bouncies because they were all at a nice location where you can grab them right away. only 2/3 of the carrots are at a good location because when your playing you are 90% sure to catch them. There is only 3 PU, and two PU when you go through the coin warp! Fire, RF and Bouncie PU’s were nicely placed I must say, Especially bouncies because that is the format used for alot of the original levels for bouncie pu’s.

-Tiles are all good, accept one tile that is on top right… Btw nice job on covering up the mysterious vanishing grass with a tile I never seen before o.o

-Something was unfair about the bases: Blue bas ws easier to attack because the aea around it is much easier to go through while red, it is like a wall with hills around the base.

Extra points: Good work on eye candy, and the coin system at each base is good at the start of a duel for both players to get started.

This is a good level though is abit rusty like desc. said.

download? sure

host? maybe

I give this level a good 7.2 at the moment.[This review has been edited by J4E]

Edit::: Ok It was just reuploaded. I must say the eyecandy does not hurt my eyes anymore, and the issue on top right is gone now! Though the coin warp could be better, and springs changed so I can move better.

GJ shade, though some of the ways the level play is are odd.. Like the topright thing, it has no tunnel and that can frusterate someone on duels! :(

I’m just going to go with a quick review, since I’m not in the mood to do a long one.

One Spot
Eyecandy – Very good
Nice original background, great sprite layer eyecandy… what more do you want?

Gameplay – Good
I don’t really like the gameplay here that much. The flow isn’t very good at all. The layout is nice, and the overall gameplay is pretty fun. The gameplay includes trying to get to a certain spot in a level, then capturing the enemy’s flag when you’re there, then going back to that spot to score. Pretty simple, really.

Ammo placement – Very good
For lack of anything to say about the ammo placement besides that it’s very good, I’ll just leave it at that.

Medieval Skyscrapers
Eyecandy – Very good
Great looking level here. I’ve never seen a level with this tileset look as good as this one does.

Gameplay – Very good
Magnificent, original gameplay. There are cannons that let you shoot further like the ones in many Bank Robbery levels. The flow is nice, the layout is easy to learn… perfection.

Ammo placement – Very good
There is nothing to say about the ammo if I say that it’s very good. If I say it’s not good, then I have something to complain about. But, there’s nothing wrong here.

Non-Typical Battle
Eyecandy – Good / Very good
As good as it gets with a Mez tileset.

Gameplay – Good / Very good
Great flow and gameplay, but a confusing layout. Well, atleast it was confusing for me when I first starting beta testing this, which was a month or two ago. Anyway, the warps can get a bit annoying, as can the jail room, which is why I’m not giving this a, “Very good.”

Ammo placement – Good / Very good
As one of the beta testers, FS told me how to get the shield. Bwahaha. Die, peasants. ;( The ammo placement is good here, like in the others. I don’t like it quite as much, though. And, no, I’m not taking off points for the shield, since it’s strategically placed.

The Melting Point
Eyecandy – Good / Very good
Only BlurredD has made eyecandy with this tileset worthy of Very Good, although the eyecandy here is still very sexy. My only real complaint is that the background is unoriginal.

Gameplay – Good / Very good
Your typical good gameplay… the level is quite small, though. The wind can also get a bit frusturating.

Ammo placement – Good / Very good
See the above ammo placement explanations… or something.

I’m ending the review here because I’m too lazy to write more. I suppose it’s a decent sized review. It might appear small, given the fact that some people cough put like six line breaks between each thing that they say, making it look like they made big reviews.

Download reccomendation – Yes

Edit: I forgot to add a rating. =P

Winner, how come you said that the overall score was 7.7 but gave it a 7.2? It doesn’t make any sense.

Winner, taking off 0.5 points because the levels don’t loop to the others in the pack is not fair. It’s impossible for FS to do that without causing problems since not all of them are CTF. There’s a battle one, if you hadn’t noticed. You shouldn’t take off any points whatsoever for that. You seem to be very biased.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

thers something in the zip :P
And from the looks of it, it’s a pretty solid, yet Spaz biased and buggy CTF level.

Eyecandy – Good
Like many of DX’s levels, this level has nice sprite layer eyecandy, but the backgrounds look very ugly. This level is filled with eyecandy to the extent that it’s almost overdone. The reason I’m not giving this category a higher rating is because 1.) Layer eight is ugly; the textured background should fade to a lighter color. 2.) Level seven doesn’t look the greatest. 3.) There are a few tile bugs here and there. 4.) I don’t know what on earth that huge carrot near 37, 32 is doing there, but it looks very ugly.

Gameplay – Okay / Good
A platformy, Spaz biased level… just what lots of people do not want to see (especially BlurredD =P). Although the gameplay is good, and rather fun to play, the layout and flow could use some work. The top of the level is also open and, therefore, you can get a flagbug, which is one of the reasons why I’ll probably never host this. I hate flagbugs. =P You get a flagbug when somebody touches the edge of a level. To avoid this, put a solid wall (or ceiling, floor, etc.) that is atleast 64 pixels thick (that’s the equivalent of two fully masked tiles, side-by-side). The gameplay and layout seem like a cross between one of CelL’s newer levels (with all the vines) and Diamondus Warzone. I’m also rather against having one tile high, “tunnels,” in your levels. Oh, and BTW, the spring near 32, 36 sould have KEEP-Y (I forgot which KEEP setting you have to set to 1, so just set them both to 1 to be safe =P) on so it doesn’t make you crash into the wall nearby.

Ammo placement – Good
Pretty decent, but it appears that you forgot to put ammo in several places. The carrots are also rather, “scattered,” and hard to find. I found three… are there any more? (I’m guessing I probably saw the ones I missed (if I missed any) and thought I had already saw them. That’s what happens when a level has confusing layout).

Anyway, I’m too lazy to write more… umm… the end.

Download reccomendation – Sure.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Ok, I will give this a review.
Gameplay: Good. It’s quite good. There are some vines and the layout isn’t that bad. The spring placement could be better, though.
Eye candy: Okay. It’s good, but it’s over-used I think. Too many things in layer 4, 6 and 7. Also, there are many tilebugs. That makes it Bad/Okay.
Pickup placement: Good. This is also quite good, but I think there are too many Power-Ups. I found 5 of them. Toaster, Blaster, Bouncer, Seeker and RF. The Seeker Power-up ruins the gameplay as some users say, but this one is in a bonus and that’s much better. Also, no Full Energy. I also think there is too many Fast Fire.
Others: Host this: No.
Download this: I don’t think so.
7.5 is overrating, I give 6.5.

This is a good level but it has a few “ issues”

1. It is only for spaz, and even when you are spaz, most players at first should feel smooth gameplay, and this level has some of that but it is a bit to cramped.

2. Eyecandy is not bad, though it mixes well when going around but more detail can be added. (-.5 points)

3. Weapon placement is good, but not enough ammo if you asked me.

4. Gameplay is a good for spaz, bad for jazz ( -2.5 points )

The good side of this is that it is reasonably fun, suggested to use for 1 vs 1 duels, and is just the right size for 6 people MAX.

Fun? Yes, to some people it might look cramped at places.

Download? Yes!@

Edit:
This level has removed triangles that cramped up most of the level +.2 pints[This review has been edited by ?Shade?]

Well, this wasn’t reviewed, so i decided to review.

EYECANDY:yay. better than in last version. actually, i think you should add a new background mountain isntead of those blocks, since they are very confusing. good that there is different kind of blocks now. that made me rate higher.

GAMEPLAY:Well, its better. but it could be still better. i think its quite hard to move in this level. and someparts are confusing.still, the gameplay is ok, and i don’t have much compaliments.

WEAPON PLACEMENT:Heh, good enough. there is many kinds of ammo, and theyre quite easy to get. there is one powerup, and i think its too easy to get. ;p
Well, no other comments., i guess that this review is finished.

DOWNLOAD RECOMMEDATION:Yeah..

Hmmm…
Before you was uploading i had see the level, it was avarage.
But you asked me for saying the bugs.
I said : ‘‘To much ammo and the eyecandy’‘
The ammo you have good replaced but the eyecandy is very… ehh. boring.
Srry but i have to tell you to make your next level better with eyecandy, and the size.
And dont make levels in 1 hour, no get time for it, i dont have to be fast.

6.8 = 7
You will later a good levelmaker, but you have to learn much.

Ok, I want to review this.
Gameplay: Good/Very Good. I like it, spring placement is very good, only the level is quite small, if it was that big with this gameplay, it was very good.
Eye candy: Very Good. I loved it. This is how you need to use this tileset. I don’t care about that it’s overused.
Pickup placement: Good/Very Good. The ammo placement is really good, but you must get up again to get the ammo at some places. There are more levels which have that. The amount of ammo was very good. The carrot placement was also good.
Others: Well, this wasn’t a long review, but this level does rock, and FS also does. I give this level a 8.5.

Lets do a quick review..

EYECANDY:Well, someparts are good, someparts look really dull. like those blocks. you used 32 × 32 block only. in my opinion, you should use other blocks too, like 64 × 64. results would look much nicer. but, its your choice.

GAMEPLAY:Quite good, but there are some weapons i don’t like such as TNT and freezer. i won’t take points away though. you can get around fine. average gameplay.

AMMO PLACEMENT:Its good but could be better. no more comments.

CONCLUSION:An Average level.

DOWNLOAD RECOMMEDATION:Nope..

Eyecandy – Bad
Although it’s original, the eyecandy here is extremely poor looking. There are only two background layers – layer eight and layer seven. Layer seven is a layer of mountains that is too low and has no unique relative movement to speak of, thus looking very unrealistic. Layer eight is a red textured background. It’d be nice if it had stars, but it’s okay. Layer four includes some fences and black cave areas with stars. The tileset is misused. When you are using blocks, for best results, you should use all the different sized blocks, put together kind of like a puzzle. The results are quite sexy looking. =D
Gameplay – Okay
At the bottom, the gameplay seems rather face. However, in the top area, the flow is sort of good, and the gameplay is also sort of good. The first thing I’d like to complain about is the fact that reaching the carrot (and the RF Missle powerup, for that matter) is very, very Spaz biased. Jazz can make it up there with an uppercut, but that takes much longer. There are some other Spaz biased places, too. Either put springs, or make the level easy in general for Jazz to jump around in.
Ammo placement – Okay / Good
The carrots are a bit too close to the bottom, and they’re also a bit too close together, as are many of the powerups. Come to think of it, there are way too many powerups. The rest is nice, though.

I’ll end with a short review.

Download reccomendation: Nope.

You used a normal musicfile. Oh.

EYECANDY – - 7.5
No, not at all. I found it out that you overused many tiles and which is not funny at all. Looks pretty boring. No textured background either. Argh. Not again.

GAMEPLAY – - 5.5
You overused carrots. Way too many. A full health carrot in battle isn’t a good thing, because it’s straight 5 hearts immediately. And, oh. A seeker powerup. One point explodes.

STUFF PLACEMENT – - 6.7 (-1.0)
Seeeekeeerrr powerup =( Of course you had to place a seeker powerup to make this rating even worse. Ohhhh. The stuff placement is almost average. Below average. 6.7 – 1.0.

ORIGINALITY – - 8
Oh. A default JJ2 music file. I HATE THAT MUSIC OVER AND OVER. Too bad it doesn’t affect the originality except that using default music annoys me. H8.

OVERALL – - 6.5 (-1.0)
The seeker powerup lowered my rating by one. 6.5 would be good but it’s 5.5 then. Don’t upload everything you make…

THIS USELESS TEXT CONCLUDES THE REVIEW.
